97:6.2 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah Jeremiah] fearlessly declared that [[Yahweh]] was not on the side of the [[Hebrews]] in their [[military]] struggles with other [[nations]]. He asserted that [[Yahweh]] was [[God]] of all the [[earth]], of all [[nations]] and of all peoples. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah Jeremiah]'s teaching was the crescendo of the rising [[wave]] of the [[internationalization]] of the God of Israel; finally and forever did this intrepid preacher proclaim that [[Yahweh]] was God of all nations, and that there was no [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris Osiris] for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_religion Egyptians], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bel_(god) Bel] for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonia Babylonians], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashur_%28god%29 Ashur] for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyria Assyrians], or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagon Dagon] for the [[Philistines]]. And thus did the [[religion]] of the [[Hebrews]] [[share]] in that [[renaissance]] of [[monotheism]] throughout the world at about and following this time; at last the [[concept]] of [[Yahweh]] had [[ascended]] to a [[Deity]] level of [[planetary]] and even [[cosmic]] [[dignity]]. But many of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah Jeremiah]'s associates found it difficult to conceive of [[Yahweh]] apart from the [[Hebrew]] [[nation]].

97:6.3 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah Jeremiah] also preached of the just and loving [[God]] described by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah Isaiah], declaring: "Yes, I have [[loved]] you with an everlasting [[love]]; therefore with loving-[[kindness]] have I drawn you."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Jeremiah#Chapter_.31] "For he does not afflict willingly the children of men."

97:6.4 Said this fearless [[prophet]]: "[[Righteous]] is our Lord, great in [[counsel]] and mighty in [[work]]. His eyes are open upon all the ways of all the sons of men, to give every one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Jeremiah#Chapter_.32] But it was considered [[blasphemous]] [[treason]] when, during the siege of [[Jerusalem]], he said: "And now have I given these [[lands]] into the hand of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar], the king of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon Babylon], my servant."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Jeremiah#Chapter_.27] And when [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah Jeremiah] [[counseled]] the [[surrender]] of the [[city]], the [[priests]] and civil rulers cast him into the miry pit of a dismal dungeon.
